Spammers Targeting Blog

Hello fellow vBulletin users

I recently uninstalled GlowHost Anti Spam mod since the thing hasn't been updated in such a while and has been stripped of its many features, it also feels like it took a lot of load from the site, also saw a small number of member boost and just went back to using regular question and answer for verification.

However recently every day or Is there is one or two spammers who join up and posting spam blog posts with links, they get deleted within a couple of hours but any way I could stop that without having to mess with vBulletins promotions system, I was thinking is there was a mod that allows you to set the number of posts required before a user posts a blog?

or If there is a better HV/Anti Spam mod? I dont want anything heavy, just the necessary.

This same thing happened on a forum I administered. Just simply moderate blog entries. It should really help reduce the numbers of spam blogs.

You could try this: create a plugin using hook blog_post_start and code like this:
